Bitcoin is currently trading in a tight range as the market reacts to the latest US Consumer Price Index report. The data arrived right in line with analyst expectations, which has pushed the probability of a Federal Reserve interest rate pause in September up to 60 percent. While this is generally viewed as a positive signal for risk assets, the price of Bitcoin has not yet seen a significant breakout.

Traders are now focused on the $63,000 mark. Analysts warn that if the asset cannot hold this level as support, we could see further downward pressure in the coming days. The market remains cautious as investors weigh the potential for easier monetary policy against the technical weakness displayed by the current price action.

Moving forward, the primary goal for bulls is to solidify $63,000 as a firm floor. If the price fails to stay above this threshold, it may trigger a broader selloff. We are watching the charts closely to see if the recent inflation news provides enough momentum to push the coin higher or if bearish sentiment will keep it contained.
